Love it!!

Love my new Fenix 8. Just upgraded from the 6. The screen is so easy to read. I love the touch screen - it's just as sensitive as my iPhone screen. I thought the flash light was going to be gimmicky - but it actually works great reading menus in dark restaurants and finding my way in the dark. Battery life is crazy. I am on day 18 of the first charge and still says I have 31% remaining. I used to get 6-7 days out of my old 6.

Looks good but it’s glitchy

Got it on 1/14/2026 opened it up put on charger. All excited about this watch. Came home did what it said downloaded the app scanned the watch. Took forever to pair. Tried to set up the ecg app said not enough information. Said my heart rate was like 175. Put it on and noticed it was always on the sun set/sun rise screen. Went to the gym looked at it and it was constantly going through different screens. So I have had it less than 12 hours and I am ready to send it back hopefully when I call garmin this morning they will help me with a fix. A lot of money for something that doesn’t work

Worth the money

I’ve been using a Fenix watch for many years. At age 76 I questioned whether it was worth upgrading from my Fenix 5. After daily use for the past month I’ve found the additional features were well worth the money.
